Title: Origins?
Post by: jibbajibba on May 31, 2016, 04:16:43 PM
Anyone at Origins this year?

I am tying it into a spot of holiday and will be meeting up with my Canadian mates.

Haven't posted for a while so most of you will have no idea who I am which is probably a good thing :)

Be great to catch up for beers or whatevers.

Hey Jibbajibba, long time no see (on the forum)!

Didn't know (or forgot) you were a fellow Canuckistan.

Me Canadian... oh my good grief no :)

One of my mates moved over there after he mustered out of the Royal Navy.
I do have a lot of time for you colonial chaps however, although sharing a room with 4 of them always fills me with dread (between the farts and the snoring it would be quieter to try and sleep in a steel mill...) .

Haven't been writing on the board as haven't really been gaming since I moved back to the UK, well aside from playing MtG. Got a couple of board games I am going to pass to my Canadian chums to play test for me though.

Love to hear your thoughts on Origins!

It's on my To-Do list and I've always heard great things about the con.

I don't know what other folk would say but in my previous visit I found it more intimate that GenCon. I don't just mean the size but last time, a few years back now, we found ourselves playing boardgames with the Pinnacle team, drinking in the bar with a lot of designers etc.
Might have been just that one year (2011???) or it might be that its just smaller but definitely a different feel.
